North Korean state newspaper Rodong Sinmun released images on 7 February showing a new type of surface-to-surface missile (SSM) being fired from a surface-effects ship (SES) from the Korean People&#x27;s Navy (KPN) Eastern Fleet. The images, which showed North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in attendance, were accompanied by an article translated by the English-language website KCNA Watch. The article noted that the test-firing proved in a &#x22;scientific&#x22; way that the capabilities of the long-rumoured vessel and its weapons system had reached design and engineering specifications.IHS Jane's Defence Weeklyhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3256433/posts#commentWed, 11 Feb 2015 15:26:13 GMTNorth Korea says its people do not want &#x91;flashy lights&#x92; after satellite imagehttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3255997/posts

North Korea is attempting to put nuclear weapons to sea, according to a longtime regime watcher. Joseph Bermudez&#x97;an expert on North Korean weapons&#x97;believes the evidence is commercial satellite imagery showing a submarine with possibly two vertical launch tubes. The regime also appears to have constructed a test stand for launching sea-based ballistic missiles. The two revelations may not be directly related. For one, the vessel might not end up carrying nuclear-capable missiles. But Bermudez&#x92;s evidence is highly suggestive.
